I got a new issue of Sew News October / November 2013 a couple of days ago, which features my article about a pair of really interesting pants I made back in 2011. The pants have an unusual detail on the waist - lapels, and the wide legs have knife pleats that open above knees.

Here's how the pants look on me. I have to admit, now that I look at them, they don't fit me well and there's a lot of pulling going on at the crotch. I should've fixed this, but I think that at the moment of sewing, my major concern was to prove myself that this pattern is doable, and that I can draft it, rather than to fit them perfectly. Too bad, they're quite fancy! You can read a series of posts I wrote while drafting the pattern and sewing here.
